Coconut Cake



  • 1 box yellow cake mix

  • 1 small package vanilla instant pudding mix

  • 1-1/3 cup of water

  • 4 eggs

  • 1/4 vegetable oil

  • 2 cups flaked coconut

  • 1 cup chopped nuts, of your choice (I generally use walnuts)



Blend cake mix, pudding mix, water, eggs and vegetable oil in a large mixing bowl on medium speed for about 4 minutes.
Hand stir in coconut and nuts.
Pour into 2 or 3 greased and floured 9-inch layer pans (depending on if you want a two or a three layered cake. I made two this time.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow the cake to cool in the pans for at least 15 minutes then remove and completely cool on a rack or a counter top.


Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting



  • 4 Tablespoons butter

  • 2 cups flaked coconut

  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened

  • 2 teaspoon milk

  • 3-1/2 cups powdered sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla


Melt the butter in pan. Add coconut; stirring constantly over low heat until golden brown. Spread coconut on absorbent paper to cool. Stir together 2 Tablespoons of the butter with the cream cheese. Add milk and powdered sugar alternately, beating well. Add vanilla; stir in 1-3/4 cups of the coconut. Frost cake and sprinkle with remaining coconut.
